· The garage is all yours.

· Wedding plans take care of themselves.

· Chocolate is just another snack.

· You can be President.  (It is coming.  It will be.  Yes we Can)

· You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. (Don't wear a tshirt ladies...be glorious in your splender)

· You can wear NO shirt to a water park

· Car mechanics tell you the truth

· The world is your urinal. (hahhaha...true dat)

· You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.

· You almost never have strap problems in public.

· You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

  2. LOL I had read this - or some variation of it - a couple of months ago. Loved it then... loved it now. And all of it true. Would we change to a man though? Now there's the prickly question.

  6. What jerks men are!

    I knew there was a reason I irrationally snapped at DH this morning, it's because he can eat chocolate and shoes don't mangle his feet, not because I have PMS.

Hope this helps. xxx
